An 1851 Townhouse Becomes Three Condos at 222 Henry Street in Brooklyn Heights
Welcome to 222 Henry Street, a three-residence condominium taking shape inside an 1851 townhouse in Brooklyn Heights, a few blocks from the Promenade and steps from Court Street.
Where Things Stand
Here is where things stand: the offering plan for 222 Henry Street Condominium was submitted to the New York State Attorney General on August 4, 2026, and it is currently awaiting acceptance. No units are for sale yet, there is no public pricing, and reservations cannot be taken. From here it typically takes about 6 to 12 months for the Attorney General to review and accept a plan when a developer can officially start marketing and selling.
The Numbers So Far
The plan calls for three residences with a projected sellout of $13,700,000. That works out to roughly $4,566,000 per home on average. Compared to some other conversions in Brooklyn Heights, this is a fairly accessible price point.

A Boutique Condo Experience
222 Henry Street is a rehab of an 1851 townhouse, four stories and roughly 5,000 square feet, being converted into three condominiums by Nexus Building Development Group with JL Architects handling the renovation. Three homes in a building this size means a ground floor and top floor with otudoor space and likely duplexes. The Middle unit may then be a two-bedroom or three-bedroom.
The Heart of Brooklyn Heights
Brooklyn Heights was New York City’s first designated historic district, and Henry Street is one of its quietest and prettiest stretches. The Promenade and Brooklyn Bridge Park are a short walk west, the Montague and Court Street corridors are around the corner for groceries, coffee, and dinner, and the building is zoned for P.S. 8.
The N and R at Court Street are about a 3-minute walk.
The 2 and 3 at Borough Hall are about 5 minutes.
The 4 and 5 at Borough Hall are about 5 minutes.
The A, C, and F at Jay Street-MetroTech are about 8 minutes.
The A and C at High Street are about 9 minutes.
Walkable to Brooklyn Bridge Park, the Promenade, and the Montague and Court Street corridors.
Designed for Modern Brooklyn Living
Condos almost never come to market in Brooklyn Heights, and when they do they are usually smaller units inside big prewar co-op conversions. Three large homes in an 1851 townhouse, with a garden and P.S. 8 zoning, is a different kind of offering entirely. For a buyer who wants a brand-new home wrapped in genuine history, 222 Henry Street is worth knowing about early.
